Making a complaint about rail services
How to make a complaint about a rail service, station or train, and what to do if you're not happy with the outcome.
Registering your complaint
If you have a complaint about a rail service or journey, the first step is to contact Translink, who operate the line, train or station.
Try to speak to someone as soon as possible, either:
- a staff member onboard the train
or
- a member of staff at your departure or destination station
Taking the matter further
If you can't contact anyone immediately or you want to take your complaint further, you can use the online contact form or write to Translink.
If you write, if possible include proof of your journey (such as a ticket or receipt) in with your letter.
It is a good idea to get proof of posting for your complaint letter and to keep a photocopy of any documents you send.
Getting support for your complaint
If you're not satisfied with the Translink's response, you can contact:
Complaints involving injuries
If you have a complaint involving an injury received while onboard a train or at a station, it's vital that you contact someone connected with the train or station as soon as possible, preferably immediately.
